Little Gifts

Hello,

As you read this I will be at Julies all day paper craft class in Yorkshire! I just thought I would share with you the little gifts I have made for the other SU! demos who will be there, some of whom are Jems (Julies team) and some are from other teams, all are lovely ladies who I am really looking forward to meeting again and 1 or 2 for the first time :0) exciting!
I wanted to take a little something for these ladies but as I am flying to Julies and only taking hand luggage it needed to be light and small, so as I enjoyed making the lavender bag for my mothers day class I decided to make some more :0)
Here they are all together...



and a couple of close ups, all stamps used are by SU! please see labels at the bottom of this post for more info and links to other examples,



as are the paper toppers. Some of the ribbon and buttons are from my stash, some are SU!



So onto my little giveaway! Would you like a lavender bag? Well, pop your name down and I will pick a winner on, shall we say next Saturday? to give you a chance to get your entry in,
I will also post to anywhere, so all my lovely followers from around the world can enter this one ;0)
Thanks for stopping by,

Dads Birthday

Hello,

Have you got any snow yet?? we had a good flurry yesterday but nothing laid :0( here's hoping soon, but maybe next week as we are going to Essex on Sunday for the day to visit friends and do the Christmas thing, I am so looking forward to it! Anyways, I am going to do the tutorial today for the couple of lovely peeps who asked for the measurements of yesterdays milk carton, I may even get it posted today??

For now though I have a card I made for my dad, it was his birthday on the 10th of Dec but I have been hoping he may have had it before I posted here, but no not yet! I sent it in plenty of time too, but in Spain apparently there has been 2 bank Holidays this last week! I hope that's all it is, delayed, as his birthday present and Christmas presents for him and his partner, Shirley, were all in there!!! eeeek!!

Anyways, I made this one loosely based on the new years card we made at convention, stamps used were New Years Celebration, Occasional Greetings and Yummy, Glossy Accents all over the bottle. Basic Grey Card base with Night of Navy and Bashful Blue card accents.

Well, I hope you like and I really hope it gets to him!!! soon would be nice too (but anytime would do!!)

Hopefully back later,

Keep Warm, Sarah-Jane xxx

A Hug for Elaine

Morning all, I have scheduled this post so here's hoping you get to see it! I am off out today with hubby as we are celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary. Not too sure where we are going yet but I will let you know on Sunday! (in case you are interested, lol)
I have sent this card to my lovely SU! sister Elaine .

Sending you a big (((hug))) Elaine and if you need anything you know where we are xx

Card made using SU! dsp in choc chip and using Sincere salutations for the outside sentiment and one of a kind for the flowers , the with love sentiment was from Yummy. This card was also done for a challenge but I missed it by a mile ! lol! (Jan!) I used this weeks sketch from the Sunday Sketch challenge blog by the lovely Karen Giron. Never mind will be more organised next week! (maybe!)

I made this the other night whilst having a virtual chat (and challenges) with my Stampin' Up! sisters, organised by our SU! mum Julie, we had to make a card inspired by our home and I have lots of different brown tiles in my bathroom and a hot pink bathmat, so this comes from there too.

Hope you all have a good day and thanks for stopping by,

Hugs to ya, Sarah-Jane xx

One more sleep 'till Zoe's birthday !

Morning,

I will have to make this a really quick post I'm afraid, as it is Zoe's birthday tomorrow and I have loads to do (as usual!) Just thought I would share a couple of piccies of the little gifts I have packaged up ready for her little friends who are coming to her party on Sunday !

I was in paperchase on Saturday and spotted these pens and boys toys for sale and thought it would make a nice change from the normal party bags, I just prettied them up with die cut circles and Labels nesties then stamped with the Yummy set (from SAB) "A Little Something For You" onto Rose Red card for the girls and dark green for the boys. In Versa mark I added the little flower to the girls and footballs and Rugby balls to the boys , all from the All in the Family Accessories stamp set. Ribbon from stash, attatched with the Fastenater staples.

Well can't get Mr Blogger to do anything else so that will have to be it for today anyway :( !!!!

Have a great weekend,

Hugs Sarah-Jane xx

2 ways with Sale-a-bration

Hi again,

2 posts in one day eh? get me !!

I have some crafting yummyness to show you this afternoon !!I saw these on the craftworks card stand at Make it! on saturday and I think they are just scrummy !!

I have made mine with a scalloped circle by SU! (They call them "Carousel Notes") which my lovely SU! Mum sent me for my birthday- thank-you Julie ((hugs)) as soon as I saw them I knew what I was going to do !!!

##For both I used close to cocoa ink and cardstock and pretty in pink carousel note##

For the top one I Stamped randomly with the flower from the set "Polka dot punches" all over the carousel note, then onto close to cocoa cardstock the framed saying from the "Yummy" set, I cut it out and mounted onto foam pads, Chocolate drops from CWC round the outside, ribbon from stash, eggs gone in a flash !!

And for the second bag I have masked the swirls on another stamp from "Yummy" (3 in the set altogether) and positioned with my Stamp-a-ma-jig to get it in the middle. I then stamped the flower again from the "polka dot punches" straight onto cardstock, and pnched out with 1, 1/4" punch. Eggs were put into a spare card bag then attatched with d/s/tape.

So there it is, my 2 ways with 2 sets of Sale-a-bration !

****ONLY AVAILABLE FOR 2 MORE DAYS****

So if you want one (or both!) sets you need to order £45 worth (for each set) soon !!

Please let me know which one you like best,

Thanks for looking, Sarah-Jane xxx
